Great to see so many jobs opening up! I imagine we have a limited pool of strong Effective Altruist candidates for all these opportunities, and also that some opportunities would require people with EA expertise much more than others. Similarly, I imagine some are better for career capital than others.
Do you have a sense of if any clusters of jobs within this are particularly high-impact or good for EAs?
Among the companies I’ve spoken with, technical positions seem to be a huge bottleneck, so I’d imagine those being the highest impact. In this industry, I’m considering technical positions to generally have titles like food scientist, research/process associate, bioprocess engineer, food technologist/developer, etc. This bottleneck seems especially intense among clean meat companies, so if you have a relevant background, I’d strongly encourage you to apply.
Beyond that, it’s hard for me to guess exactly which positions are highest impact.
